Was it really Russia’s invasion, or just because the interest rates went up to prevent too much inflation after the COVID stimulus packages? Hard to imagine Russia had that much demand for software compared to the rest of the world.

Sadly the new one is all I have memories of

Please no

Jodel? The app used exclusively by my coworkers to post memes about their job, and seemingly not much else?

Because there are other things to talk about, and it’s depressing and not something the average citizen can really control on their own.

I really don’t care about whatever new crime against humanity they’re doing next, I just want to see Cities: Skylines content, or at least some mildly interesting discussions.

Doesn’t sound too different from Lemmy, except most users are radical left AND radical Linux users.

What’s wrong with Google? AI answers are pretty convenient.

All this feels pretty old for me

Can you get it for iPhone?

I thought Valve was the one who created Proton in the first place to let people play games on Linux

No, there’s just so much messed up it’s hard to care about something happening on the other side of he world.

I don’t know but Internet Explorer somehow managed to mess it up badly enough to be widely considered inferior by the vast majority of the population, despite being pre installed on Windows. So I suspect Chrome could fall in the same boat if it’s bad enough. Though I guess there are still open source forks.

Honestly, I’m kind of impressed it’s able to analyze seemingly random phrases like that. It means its thinking and not just regurgitating facts. Because someday, such a phrase could exist in the future and AI wouldn’t need to wait for it to become mainstream.

To be fair, California is kind of dysfunctional and constantly trips over its own regulations when trying to get anything built. For instance, needing excessive environmental impact review for things like trains that will obviously help the environment, or limiting ferry boats crossing the bay to protect the environment even though it likely results in more people driving instead.

It makes me think of the original release of the iPhone app store.

But it is a classic

Yes, obviously I prefer to keep my secure credentials private to avoid having my bank account compromised.

I’m pretty sure any popular modern browser can be trusted not to leak that data, even Google Chrome. If anything I trust Chrome more because Google has an incentive to not obliterate trust in their security.

Now browsing history for advertisers is a different story - that is something I explicitly don’t care about. And that’s what I was obviously referring to in my first comment.

Yes, when it comes to sharing sensitive information publicly, I do care about privacy. Especially bank information - a regular bank statement could probably be exploited for identity theft - but it’s also nice to keep at least a little plausible deniability about who I am IRL (for employers and such).

When it comes to websites and browsers aggregating browsing history to use for advertising - which is what I was referring to in my original comment - no I don’t care.

It could be used to take my money, which directly and drastically harms me and benefits you. Or worse, “steal my identity” and take out a loan in my name. Things like bank statements could also potentially be used for that, and I have no reason to give them to internet strangers.

No
